Rastamouse and the Crucial Plan by Genevieve Webster
One of the three original Rastamouse picture books that preceded the hugely popular CBeebies television series, RASTAMOUSE AND THE CRUCIAL PLAN introduces Bandulu, a super bad thief with a weakness for all things cheesy. He has a bite out of his ear and wears a red and white bandana . . . and he's stolen every last piece of cheese in Mouseland. And how do you catch a crook that loves to cook? Rastamouse has a crucial plan: the lure of an awesome Cheese Pie Competition!
